Majic Morning Moves @ WMJI/Cleveland
• iHeartMedia Classic Hits WMJI (Majic 105.7)/Cleveland shares some major morning changes — namely, three out of the four longtime cast members are leaving the show as it retools. While seven-year host Mark Nolan (pictured) remains in place, RAMP has learned that Jimmy Malone, who co-hosted the wake-up show for 30 years, will be taking on another role with the station, while longtime co-hosts Chip Kullik (29 years) and Tracey Carroll (16 years) have exited.
Keith Kennedy, SVP of Programming — Cleveland Metro, said of Kullik and Carroll, “We thank them for their many contributions and wish both of them the best in the future. Both are true professionals – and incredible people. They would make great additions to any air staff… For us it was time to try something different in the mornings.”
Kennedy added, “The WMJI Morning Show will continue as scheduled, hosted by Mark Nolan with a new cast to be announced soon. Jimmy Malone is still with iHeartMedia Cleveland and WMJI and will be taking on an exciting new role to be announced soon.”
Nolan originally joined WMJI for middays in 2012; In March 2014, after the retirement of market legend John Lanigan, Nolan was upped to host of the rebranded Nolan, Malone & Kullik Morning Show.
• Look for the official morning show posting to appear sometime soon on the iHeartMedia Careers portal. In the meantime, candidates are invited to send stuff to keith@iheartmedia.com.
